This new ipad came fully loaded in the mail, sprinting to me on its own steam, when where how it got here I don’t know. She just came, in an orange sleeve, with the keyboard made for hands even smaller than MINE, which seems unfathomable. I have the smallest adult hands I have seen, and […]
Ok my asshole is on fire and I know that this is only my own fault but it still hurts. I have a problem with spices, and it’s a Korean thing and I just wish my mouth would stop writing checks that my asshole cannot cash. I had salad with my friends John, Ian and […]
The Honda Dream arrived to meet me in Georgia, and I made a nice little apartment for her at my workplace, which also happens to be a quiet municipal airport. She’s not running great, but that is to be expected, being a bit older than me, and with already 2 cross country treks in her […]
I love AllSaints, which reminds me of England, where I long to return. I think I could be an AllSaints girl, stick straight hair falling into my eyes, my long limbs peeking out of well cut stovepipe skinny jeans and a painstakingly distressed leather jacket, looking like a postmodern and just woken up Amelia Earhart, […]
There are things I would love to do but there isn’t room for them, in this crowded life. These days leave big piles unfinished. Time marches on and I never get to the end of the to do lists and I always discover you don’t need to do all of it. There isn’t time or […]
I get this idea that movement is no good for me, and I would love to just stay still as possible. There is no way for sweat to break through my impermeable skin. I would rather waste than build. I don’t want to breathe all that deeply. It is sheer laziness I am after and […]
It was a tremendous honor for me to meet Susan Tyrrell. She pumped my shaky nervous hand up and down, hazy in my memory as this was now many years ago, at a very late night party thrown at her eccentrically decorated home, a glassy and brassy 60s affair filled with keane paintings and pixie […]
Yes, I may be a lying pervert – according to the Westboro Baptist Church, but that hasn’t stopped me from playing St. Louis, and my lies and perversity get me invited to better parties frankly, so let’s just say that I am in it to win it and I am what I am and that […]
I have been in show business a long time, and remember being in the presence of Milton Berle, who had his own very privileged parking space at the Friar’s Club in Beverly Hills, where you wouldn’t dare park even if you knew full well he was not coming out that night. He was a rather […]
Let me tell you kids, there was never such a great comedian as the tremendous Bill Hicks. I had the good fortune of knowing him, even opening for him at the beginning of my career in show business and life. I loved him and worshipped him and I was not alone. My friend attended his […]
Thinking about human consciousness as gears in a car, that neutral must be the most basic awareness, upon first waking or right before sleep comes over you in a wave, the light in your eyes growing or fading. There’s first gear, which is helped along by coffee and some kind of egg dish. That eggs […]
I was out and about in east Atlanta, where I have been spending more time lately, at bars and restaurants and rock shows with my younger friends. They continued on into the night and tired, premenopausal me headed home. I can’t keep up with them, but I try doggedly for the happy hours, their first […]
